On September 24, with AI-driven trading surging, the U.S. midterm elections took center stage as a major concern for the stock market. Recent polling and prediction market data indicate that the Democratic Party is on track to reclaim control of at least one chamber of Congress. Wall Street analysts suggest that a Democratic victory could exert downward pressure on high-flying stocks that have thrived amid the AI boom. Given their vulnerability to regulatory risks, these stocks may face increased scrutiny, including investigations, congressional hearings, and tighter regulations in the near future. Brian Mulberry, Chief Market Strategist at Zacks Investment, noted that a strong Democratic showing in the November elections would likely trigger more hearings on AI safety concerns. News emanating from Washington could, in turn, fuel trader anxieties about potential congressional actions, leading to heightened volatility in the AI sector. Tobin Marcus, a strategist at Wolfe Research, further predicted that Democrats might establish an "AI special committee" to grill industry leaders and potentially issue subpoenas.
